VEILING-DISPLAY STAND.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented NOV. 19, 1907.

Application filed September 21. 1906. Serial No. 335,559.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILIE S. AIKEN, a citizen oftthe United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massaehu'setts,1have invented new and useful Improvements in Veiling-Display Stands, of whichthe following is a specification.

A The object of this invention is to provide "a stand which may be placed upon the counter in-a store for the purpose ofdisplaying rolls of veiling.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts set forth in the following specification and particularly pointed outin the claims thereof.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation, partly in section, of my improved veiling display stand. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged front elevation of a portion of one of thest'andards. Fig. 4 is a plan view of one of the arms.

'Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

' In the drawings 5, 5 are standards, each consisting of a tube 6 having a base 7 and .a,top8,1 said base and top being joined together and clamping the tube 6 therebe- I tween by means of a rod 9 which has screwthreaded engagement with said top and base at the opposite ends thereof. The tube 6 is provided with a plurality of holes 10, 10, said holes being arranged in pairs, one above the other, or in pairs located in the same horizontal plane (see Fi 3). The arms 11, ll consistof U-shaped pieces, preferably formed of wire, the free ends of which are inserted in; the holes 10, 10 and forming atight fit therein. Said free ends may be solder'edin the holes 10, 10, but are preferably formed to fit tightly therein in order thatthe arms may be removed and placed {at different locations longitudinally of the standardythus making it possible to locate the arms '11, 11 at different distances apart upon the standards, as may be desired, for different styles of veiling, so that it is possible to drape the veiling artistically upon the i stand without one sample of veiling interfering with another. As hereinbefore set forth the arms 11 may be placed with the free ends extending into a pair ofholes, one of said holes above the other, or they may be inserted in holes which are in thesame horizontal plane, as illus- I trated in Fig. 3. When the arms are inserted in the holes horizontally disposed in the same plane, said arms take up less space vertically, out are not so strong to resist down ward pressure as when the free ends are inserted in two holes one located above the other.

While I have illustrated the standards 5 as being formed of a tube, a base, and an ornamental top, the whole joined together by a screw-threaded rod 9, I do not desire to be limited to this particular form of construction, as it is evident that a standard could be made of wood with holes therein to receive the free ends of the U-shaped arms without departing from the spirit of my inventlon.

The standards 5, 5 are fastened together by stay-rods 12, 12 having screw-threaded engagement at the opposite ends thereof with tubes 6, 6.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire by Letters Patent to secure is:

1. As an article of manufacture, a display stand comprising two standards fastened together and a U-shaped wire attached to each of said standards with its free ends inserted therein, each of said standards being adapted to receive its respective U-shaped wire in either of two pairs of holes, the centers of each of said pairs of holes being in vertical and horizontal lines, respectively.

2. As ,an article of manufacture, a display stand comprising two standards fastened together, each of said standards consisting of a tube provided with holes therein said holes being arranged in pairs their centers being in alternately vertical and horizontal lines, and a U-shaped wire with its free ends inserted in one of said pairs of holes.

3. As an article of manufacture, a display stand comprising two standards fastened to gether, each of said standards consisting of a tube, a top and a base, said tube, base and top being joined together by a rod having screw-threaded engagement with said top and base, hereby said top and base are clamped to said tube, said tube provided with holes arranged in pairs, their centers being in alternately vertical and horizontal lines, and a U-shaped wire with its free ends inserted in one of said pairs of holes.

4. As an article of manufacture, a display stand comprising two standards fastened to gether and a plurality of U-shaped Wires atmy hand in presence of two subscribing Wittached to each of said standards, respectively, nesses.

the free ends of said Wires lnserted in holes Q i I provided in said standards, said holes being EMILIE AIKEN arranged in pairs, their centers being'in alter- Witnesses:

nately vertical and horizontal lines. CHARLES S. GOODING,
